It took Sazar a long time to recover after burning the Bloodcrystal's pattern, and he almost thought that his magical path was over. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but after relieving himself, he began to study his new magic pattern, no matter what, the result is this, since it has been burned, he can only try to accept this magic pattern.

However, after a few days of research, he still did not find out what the magic pattern did. Not only did the magic source not change anything because of it, but even if it was tattooed on the magic array, it didn't change the magic at all. Generally speaking, there are two types of magic patterns, one is the magic pattern that blesses and changes magic, and the other is the magic pattern that changes the magic source itself, but this magic pattern does not seem to belong to either of the two.

It's a lie to say that he is not disappointed, when he first got the Demon Pattern Blood Crystal, Saza thought that he had obtained an extremely strong Demon Pattern, but in the end, he realized that what he obtained was actually a completely useless Demon Pattern, which was not only useless, but also might affect his future Demon Source Improvement, which was really a feeling of stealing chickens and not losing rice.

After the "Wall Worm" incident, the school privately looked for several students who were present that night, including Jonathan, who finally saved the scene, and gave them 30 credits to reward them for their contributions to the incident. You must know that Saza's performance in the hunting trial only scored five points in the end, and it can be seen that the school attaches great importance to this incident, isn't it, a wanted criminal has been hiding for more than 30 years in the school to kill people, and if the truth of this matter is spread, it will definitely make the headlines of the Southern Express. So these 30 points are said to be rewards, but in fact, they are more like hush money.

These credits are still of great significance to students. For magicians who study in school, studying at a magic school is only the first stage of their magical journey, and when they graduate from the school after three years, most of them have only scratched the surface, and then in order to continue their advancement on the magic path, almost all of them choose to go back to the magic academy. Unlike a magic school, where you only study the basics of magic, the school of magic is a real practice of magic, where everyone can be taught and learned differently according to their choice of magic. The prerequisite for entering the Academy of Magic is these so-called credits, no matter which academy, it has its own threshold, and those who do not have enough credits can only be eliminated and cannot enter the academy.

However, Saza, who had earned the credits, couldn't be as happy as the others, because the loss he had lost in this incident was not just compensated for by the credits, at least he thought so.

Tongue Taste Restaurant

"Hey, lethargy. Jonathan patted Saza, who was sitting across from him, and the stiff face of the other party affected his appetite. "Isn't it just the wrong one?" Saza told him about the Demonic Blood Crystal the next day.

"It's easy to say. Saza gave him a blank look, and poured cold water on his head when he wanted to be stronger the most, which was not pleasant.

"Otherwise, in the afternoon we will try our luck in the shallow part of the Mt. Chinkis, and maybe we can find a magic stone or two. ”

"Please, I haven't healed my injuries yet, how can I go to the wilderness?" Saza raised his two hands that were still tightly bandaged, "Besides, the magic stone is not a pebble, you can find it if you look for it?"

Jonathan also thought that he would reply, "Okay, then you can just keep reading, I'm going to go shopping anyway, I don't want to stay in the classroom and sleep all afternoon." He said.

Soon lunch was over. The fat man settled the bill as usual, and gave the maid some tips. He stood up: "I won't send you back to the classroom, it's not far anyway." ”

As Jonathan was about to leave, Saza suddenly spoke, "Wait. He slowly got up from his seat, and he'd been at that pace for the week, and if he's not careful, God knows if the wound will open again. "I'd better go with you, it seems like I haven't been out of town for a long time since Noll left. Step by step, he walked towards the fat man.

Speaking of Knorr, Jonathan couldn't help but be silent for a moment, but quickly recovered: "Then what are you doing slowly? ”

"Idiot, how can you get me up so quickly with this wound on my body?"

"Yesterday the doctor said that your wound is recovering quite well, as long as you don't exercise too much, the wound will not burst. Where is all the courage you had to sacrifice your life to save beauty?"

.........

Shallow part of the Chinkis Mountains

The shallow shores of the Nykis Mountains are never short of popularity, from the wealthy who need exercise to help their digestion – from the well-fed hunters to the hunters who need to hunt for their livelihoods. Fortunately, the Nykes Mountains are truly fertile land, and even if a small hunt like this happens every day, it will never be hollowed out. Of course, the people who are most active in the shallow parts of the Nikis Mountains should be those young people, those who need to improve themselves through actual combat. For example, Jonathan, who is now competing with a reckless pig, and Saza, who is sitting on the sidelines and watching the game.

"Hey, Piggy is going to hit your ass, fatty!" said Saza, spitting out the grass in his mouth, leaning against the tree with a leisurely look. Of course, he also knew that the other party would not be in any danger, and the Mang Pig was just a half-demonic beast, except for rampage, nothing else, and there was nothing else.

"Shut up, you kid!" roared the fat man who was running around. In fact, as an earth mage, he can be regarded as a dumb loss, although this reckless pig is not a great semi-demonic beast, but coincidentally, it has rough skin and thick flesh, and it is born with a certain resistance to earth magic, and ordinary earth magic attacks cannot cause it any damage.

Seeing the fat man being chased by the pig while preparing for the magic, Saza had no intention of helping at all, because he had said at the beginning: "No, no, my wound seems to be about to burst, and I can't move." ”

He had just started to look at it, when suddenly he saw the fat man running towards him, and the stupid pig naturally followed. "What the hell are you doing?" Saza straightened up and yelled there, but that obviously didn't stop the fat man.

"My dear tablemate, I used up too much mana and stamina at once, and I really can't run now, I hope you won't mind if I sit next to you for a while. Jonathan leaned on Saza's side with a completely scoundrel face.

"!" Saza couldn't help but explode, as the pig had already rushed in front of them, and it slammed into them with its hard snout and fangs.

One rolled over in time, and Saza dodged to the left first, dodging the blow, but accidentally ate the dirt in the process because of the flip too hard.

On the other side, Jonathan, who was a beat slower, was not so lucky, and the indiscriminate impact of the pig did not hurt him, but the soil dug up by the pig rush covered his face.

The two spat out mouthfuls of dirt at the same time, and then began to curse the street.

"Stupid donkey, what are you hiding, why don't you kill it?"

"Silly pig, you meowed to provoke it, why should I make a move? Besides, can I react?"

Before the war of words on this side was over, the pig had already pulled his head out of the dirt and was ready to start a new round of attacks. The first target it chose to attack was Jonathan on the right, and he shook the dirt off his body, and rushed forward with his fangs on it.

"What the stupid brute!" Jonathan wasn't going to play with it anymore this time, he had just taken a bite of dirt. He touched the ground with one hand, quickly completing the conclusion of the magic circle, and an earthy yellow magic circle swirled in his hand, "Get up!" he shouted.

The pig was rushing forward without stopping, when suddenly several one-meter-high thorns protruded from its feet, and several of them accurately pierced its sides, causing it to snort in pain. Then it turned the pig's head around and charged at Saza.

Seeing the smug expression on the fat man's face, Saza became angry, he looked at the reckless pig rushing towards him, and patted the soil on his body: "This is not a wise choice. ”

He stretched out his hand, and in the blink of an eye, two blue rays of light streaked through, followed by two more. The four wind blades cut at the pig recklessly, and unfortunately, they cut into the arteries.

The battered Mangpig fell to the grass, staring in horror at the humans in front of it with its last breath.

"Didn't you say you couldn't react?"

"For the sake of him and you being a distant relative, I can't greet him well!" Saza felt that there was still an earthy taste on the tip of his tongue, so of course he would not show mercy on his lips.

The two of them hurled insults at each other as they walked towards the reckless pig, ready to begin handling their prey.

"Wait," Jonathan suddenly shouted in a war of words, "Stupid donkey, do you feel anything?"

"What is it?" said Saza wondered, "No, what could it be?"

"I have a feeling that there might be a magic stone or a magic primordial nearby!" Jonathan said.

Saza expressed his opinion with a look of disbelief.

"Do you dare to make a bet with me?" Jonathan laughed provocatively, "If I do find the Demon Stone or the Magic Prototype now, then you will have to hunt with me for the next week,"

"If you don't find the Magic Stone or the Primordial Magic, you'll have to memorize the entire Neville Student Code of Conduct for the next week!" Saza continued.

"Okay! This gave Saza a smell of conspiracy.

The fat man walked to the big hole that the pig had just arched at the base of the tree, and he continued to dig deep into the root of the tree with his hand, and saw a yellow light flickering there.

Believing it, Saza stepped forward to take a closer look to make sure the light source was the same as the book said.

"You're going to touch it?" said Jonathan, making a gesture of please.

Saza understood what he meant by touching, this light source was connected to a dimensional space where the original magic was stored, and he could reach the original magic object in this dimensional space by reaching into the light cluster.

"This is what you discovered, and of course it should be up to you to take it. Of course he knew this, but he was really a little surprised, why Jonathan was able to find this magic prototype so accurately, and he finally couldn't help asking, "How did you find it just now?"

It is rude and unwise for a magician to ask such a question to another magician. The premise, of course, is that the two magicians are not good friends.

"I'm not sure," Jonathan crossed his arms, as if recalling what he had just felt, "it's all a feeling, a strong feeling that tells me what's here, do you know what I mean?" Let me see what's in it. ”

"You don't need to look at it to know that it's the original magic body of earth-based magic, just look at the color of the light source. Saza said.

Sure enough, Jonathan pulled out an earthy yellow stone, which was the original magic body to be exact, but judging from its color, the magic it carried should be very ordinary.

The beginning of magic was created by the world, and it was the natural phenomena of the world such as energy fluctuations and elemental tides that created these magic primitives, things like stones. Those who possess the source of magic can comprehend magic through the original magic body, and this magic is the most common primitive magic today. Magic created by mages is referred to as mage magic, and with the exception of some mediocre mage spells that are published, such as Saza's Wind Blade, most mage magic falls under the privacy of the founder.

"This seems to be passivation. Jonathan said, weighing the original magic in his hand.

"Do you recognize it?"

"Of course, I know more about earth magic than you," indeed, there is a specialization in the art industry, and at this time, Jonathan, who is an earth magician, naturally has more say, "It can almost be judged from this shape." ”

Passivation was nothing more than a common zero-order normal-quality magic, and Saza couldn't help but feel sorry for Jonathan.

"Saza, then I'll leave this reckless pig to you. ”

"What are you going to do?" Saza asked, picking up Jonathan's words.

The fat man shook the original magic in his hand and said, "Of course it's burning magic, what else can you do?"

"But it's just a very ordinary magic. Saza was amazed and said that he believed that Jonathan's family could easily get him a lot of magic that was several times better than passivation, and there was no need to waste a source grid like this.

Jonathan apparently didn't think so, though, saying, "This is the original magic I found myself, and I believe it must be more suitable for me than the magic that I bought with money," he smiled, "Besides, this is the first magic prototype we have discovered together, so we have to keep it as a souvenir." ”

Saza opened his mouth and finally couldn't find any reason to dissuade the other party, so he had to agree with his statement: "If you insist." ”

An hour later

With Jonathan's ability, the passivation was easily burned, and the two found a hillside and raised a fire to roast pork.

"Your craft is truly impressive. Jonathan didn't hold back his opinion at all, and at this time he was a little more "urbane" in his appearance.

"If you're allowed to roast, we'll probably only be able to gnaw on charcoal nuggets now. Although he knew that the pork was not roasted very well, Saza retorted that after all, someone had once affirmed his craftsmanship.

In the past, when Noel was there, there would never be a shortage of barbecue, but now the two still keep this tradition, and the taste will not be mentioned for the time being. After eating a few bites of meat, the two tacitly put down the meat and looked at the scenery in the distance.

From this position, you can overlook the whole Tinghai Town, and under the blue bay, this town is like a quiet girl listening to the sound of the sea. Both the simple and noisy East End and the bustling West End are all part of her, although there is always an invisible line between them.

"I guess I'm going to leave Tinghai Town for a while, I think I'll leave next week, and don't forget our bet when that happens. Jonathan said suddenly.

As a young master of a large family, it is common for him to often need to participate in the management of the family, and Jonathan has asked for leave a few times before, so Saza didn't feel anything wrong, just nodded. He pointed to a spot in the West Side not far from Neville and said, "You seem to be more interested in hunting than sitting and reading, so you should go there in the first place." His fingertips were on the "Spinosaurus School", a school of combat that, like Neville, was nurturing the next generation, but not a mage, but a group of warriors who fought in the flesh (note 1).

"I'm not going to be like my rude big brother," Jonathan said disdainfully, for some reason some magicians have an innate resistance to muscular warriors, "Have you ever heard of the theory of the transfer of the power of death?" he said suddenly.

The theory of the transfer of the power of death is very familiar, and when Saza was about to think about it, Jonathan had already begun to talk about it: "Some scholars believe that the soul of creatures in this world will dissipate when they die, of course, there are exceptions like Caroline, but normally speaking, the soul of living beings will dissipate, and when the soul dissipates, part of the power of the deceased will also be released at this time, generating energy fluctuations," Saza was already shocked when he heard this, and it wasn't the other party's words that shocked him, but the fact that he knew every word in the words, even though he was sure that this was the first time he had heard the term death power transfer theory.

"If it is a normal death, the energy fluctuations produced will be small, and once the fluctuations stop, there will be nothing left. But if it is a battle death," Jonathan's words continued, "then part of the power he unleashes will be transferred to the person his soul fears the most, that is, to the person who kills him, and generally speaking, the stronger the fear from the soul, the more power will be transferred, and it will become inflammatory, which is very much like a human being." He uttered a sarcastic remark for no apparent reason, "This sub-power is the essence of living beings, the condensation of the deceased's abilities during their lifetime, for magicians this power can promote the growth of the demon source, and for those warriors, this power can enhance their fighting spirit." ”

"In other words, that's why you're so passionate about combat?"

Jonathan replied nondeniably, "All living things have souls, including the Pigs. ”

Of course, Saza understood what he meant, although the theory of death power transfer was not fully recognized, but there were countless examples to prove its truth, and he had even experienced it himself, such as the time he killed the giant thorn, he did feel the rapid growth of the demon source. If a magician only follows the routine for the growth of the magic source, it must go through a long-term magic precipitation, and every time the magic power is used, the magic precipitation will be generated, but this is a long process after all. And if you can get the power of the dead in Jonathan's mouth, then the promotion will become faster in battle. Indeed, many people do the same.

"Your second level can only stand out in class D, and in class B, everyone who carries shoes has reached this level. A very unkind remark, just because it came from Jonathan's mouth, Saza was not angry. And he knew it was the truth. But Saza knew that the rank of the Demon Source could not represent the whole of strength.

Jonathan looked at the silent Saza and smiled, and said, "I know what you're thinking, although advancing is not the only way to become stronger, but it's definitely a shortcut, isn't it?

Saza raised an eyebrow, which was a tacit acquiescence. He suddenly said, "The theory of the transfer of the power of death seems to be a taboo remark, right? How do you know that?"

"One time I rummaged through my eldest brother's bookshelf......" Jonathan was interrupted in the middle of his sentence.

"The younger brother of the mage who is elegant and doesn't like to read, and the big brother of the warrior who is rude and likes to read. Saza couldn't help but laugh.

"Come on, believe it or not, what I just said. You don't have a choice for next week anyway. ”

......

It would be good to be a little less miserable before parting, but if the two knew when they would be together next time, maybe they wouldn't be able to laugh like they are now.

Note 1: Warrior here refers not only to the profession of "warrior", but in fact to all professions that fight by the flesh, such as thieves, knights, archers, animal trainers, etc., their professions are collectively referred to as warriors. On the other hand, elemental magicians, magic array masters, summoners, priests, and other professions that use magic are often collectively referred to as mages.
